The youngest of four, Ira J. Bolden, was raised by his single parent mother in Hollywood, FL. Growing up in his urban neighborhood wasn’t exactly a walk in the park for him; Bolden had no father figure in his life and most of his friends to date are incarcerated. Despite these odds, he has grown to be the positive man he is today. Wanting a change in his life and a higher probability of a more secure future, at the not-quite-legal age of 17, Bolden packed his bags and ventured west to live with his uncle in Oklahoma City, OK. The move seemed to be an immediate experience of his lifetime, and when he earned a spot on the number seven ranked, in the southwest, Capitol Hill High School basketball team, not even he imagined the many awards he’d go on to receive and the experience of being a part of the number third ranked, in the nation, Connors State College in Warner, OK. After playing one season at Connors State, Bolden transferred to Redlands Community College, and it was here that an author was born. His inspiration for writing came at the age of twenty-one; Unaware of his talent, it was his college professor who revealed the bud that’s blossomed into a creative writer.
Mostly known for his funny jokes, writing has been a way of expressing his more serious emotions. Daring himself to be different, Bolden has an imagination that rises to the task. Bond is the first novel published by the author. The story is centered around the lives of three sisters: Samantha, Briana and Riana, who were separated by the untimely death of their mother. In life, we face hardships that may force us to take different paths; For these three women, life truly gave them their share of up and downs. Before they found true happiness, love, and unity within one another, they had to fight through lies, deception, heartache, and pain. Despite the trials and tribulations, they found each other and formed an eternal bond of sisterhood, love, and life that can never be broken.
Bolden is also an award winning inventor, with three patents held, he has won awards from the likes of the History Channel, Patent office, and Invent Now. The single father now lives in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and is currently working on his second book.
